0001. the barge in portland, maine is marked bal0011. a document provided to kpix 5 by the treasure island development authority confirms one of the four tenants currently leasing space in hangar 3 which sits across from the barges is called by and large or bal. it moved in august 1 this year but so far the authority hasn't provided kpix 5 with a copy of the lease to show how much by and large pays and how long it plans to stay. adding to the intrigue, look at this sign inside hangar 3 telling anyone who goes in to turn over all recording devices. well placed sources tell kpix 5 the barges are being built and outfitted as retail sales and marketing centers for google glass, the company's wearable computer. google is so far not responding at all to numerous requests for comment on the project. other than the list of lessees, the treasure island development

authority apparently isn't even talking to the mayor of san francisco. he seems content to be in the dark. >> i was trying to see what the treasure island people were saying, no, they haven't told him as well. >> reporter: the regulatory agency called bay conservation and development commission would need to approve docking the vessel but building on the barge is subject to coast guard review. >> the permitting process for building is not handled by bcdc and the coast guard has to provide a certificate for the vessel. >> reporter: the coast guard isn't being very forthcoming either. today it only confirmed it is working with the barge's owners, but gave zero details citing, due to issues of commercial confidentiality, we are unable to disclose any more information at this time. meanwhile, the reuters wire service is reporting at least one coast guard employee signed a confidentiality agreement with google. a coast guard spokesman would only add that this is an unusual situation that they don't typically deal with.

>> i have a source that told me this afternoon that this is not a defense department project, not a national security project. this is a google project. how is it that the u.s. coast guard cannot give us information about this? >> it seems to be unprecedented. we cannot really find a case where they are not forthcoming with information. we are pressing ahead freedom of information requests probably to be filed. this is apparently not national security. so they should be able to tell us exactly what has been applied for what's going on. >> so there are three barges registered to the same company? >> there are fourth. we have documentation for the fourth one bal0100 but as far as we know only two of the four are under construction and listed as passenger barges, that one in portland, maine might be farther along as you can see several windows in each container not quite so many. there are different stages but they are almost identical. >> the world waits. we'll have more tomorrow. >> google secrets. >> thank you, allen.

francisco, rappelled down a four-story building to steal the car and impress the girl. there is no immediate reaction from his parents who were in the courtroom. his attorney: >> i think it's a very, very difficult time for the family. >> reporter: the jury reached the verdicts after only one day of deliberations. sentencing is scheduled for december 16. wade was a juvenile when he committed the crimes but tried as an adult. he could spend decades in prison. >> we'll wait for that sentencing. linda yee, thank you for that. tonight the search is on for a resident missing from a defunct care home. it's just the latest trouble for the castro valley facility where people were left behind when it was ordered closed. kpix 5's john ramos has the details on the missing man and the story of a care home worker who stuck with the seniors when others bailed. >> what i was thinking was, by thursday, they would have all the residents out. but they didn't. >> reporter: maurice had only been a cook at valley springs

manor for three months when the state issued a shutdown order for the castro valley elder care facility effective last thursday. he says about five state workers had been there on and off all week. but come friday night, they all left leaving roland and a maintenance worker to try to care for 14 workers at the house. >> we was doing the best we could to make sure the residents was all taken care of because like the state they was supposed to be there from my understanding but they weren't there after 5:00, they were out of the building. >> reporter: believing they wouldn't be paid the house managers and staff never showed up on friday. so roland continued to cook for the residents and even called 911 four times to report various people's health problems. but he never actually mentioned that the facility was supposed to be closed. but because of the way they appeared, the fire crew that was there as they went in there between thursday and saturday

never recognized that there were too few people or what the appropriate number was. >> reporter: but the fire crews began to suspect something was wrong and sheriff's officers finally arrived on scene saturday night. since then, they have been trying to locate other seniors who had been moved to various hospitals in the area? only one resident remains missing 65-year-old edmond bascom, officials saying he is in good physical shape but has a history of wandering away and was last seen at 2 p.m. on friday at the san leandro bart station wearing a raiders shirt, blue pants and fishing hat. the sheriff's department says they have boxes of records to examine before they determine who to hold responsible for the mess. >> so this is not going to happen anytime too soon. this -- this -- there's no arrest imminent. this case is going to take a very, very long time to put together. >> reporter: it's unclear whether the staff did anything illegal by leaving the house. but roland says this was about right and wrong. >> i just can't see myself just

leaving the residents in there like i couldn't -- i couldn't -- i couldn't do that. maybe they would have tried to cook know of themselves and burned the whole place up or i -- i just couldn't have that on my conscience. >> reporter: in castro valley, john ramos, kpix 5. >> tomorrow, alameda county sheriffs and fire will meet with a number of federal, state and local agencies that deal with health and welfare fraud and elder abuse. they will sort out what violations may have occurred at valley springs manor. the police say the driver who caused a four-car crash in san francisco's inner richmond this afternoon ran a red light in a stolen car. that honda accord plowed into a lexus suv at 10th and geary flipping it into two other vehicles. >> heard a crazy noise of like cars being like crashed into each other. >> don't see this every day on the street, now. this is something you see on a freeway. >> all four drivers are in the

hospital tonight along with a passerby who was hit by flying debris. the 25-year-old suspect is facing car theft charges and likely more. there's been another accident involving a san francisco rec and park truck that hit a 12-year-old boy crossing the street near gerard and bacon this morning then hit an oncoming car. the boy is expected to be okay. police say it's unclear who was actually at fault or whether the child was in a crosswalk. witnesses say the city driver tried to swerve around him. there is no way that guns should be in the hands of the mentally ill. but our phil matier has learned california courts are not reporting the names of people who should not have firearms. >> reporter: under state law, hospitals and courts are supposed to notify the department of justice whenever it's determined that a person can no longer own or purchase a firearm. but according to a just released state audit county courts have routinely failed to report the names of people deemed too mentally ill to have

guns. according to the audit, between 2010 and 2011, 34 counties failed to make the required notice. in all, 2300 times. and 2100 of those cases were in san francisco. >> state law requires that there be an indication about whether that person is prohibited from possessing a firearm. >> reporter: san francisco court officials tell us that while the report may be technically true, it's only part of the story. >> this is a paperwork issue not a public safety issue. the fact of the matter is that these 2100 individuals already are subject to a firearms prohibition due to their initial hospitalization. >> reporter: in other words, the hospitals already did the reporting. >> regardless, it is different from the other courts. they have to be under court orders. >> reporter: whatever the case, san francisco is now working to comply. >> it's true that the court will only rule on matters that are contained in the petition, but however, we're focusing now on working with the parties to make sure that we're all in

full compliance with the reporting requirements. >> we are always looking for ways to make sure that people will suffering from mental illness are prohibited from possession firearms. >> reporter: still, the report will likely rekindle the argument by some that the state should enforce its current gun control laws before passing new ones. >> we report the information. we try to provide that out there so that they can work towards that and, you know, direct resources where they need to be directed. >> reporter: those resources are out there. it's a question, however, of how they're being used and this is one of those cases, ken, where we pass the law, and then came back and look and found out even our own courts weren't enforcing them. >> yeah. i mean, you have to go through some practical living to see if these things work. mental illness is just one part of this equation. what is the total number of people banned from owning guns in the state? how many people are we talking about? >> reporter: we talk about convicted felons, people are

restraining orders, mentally ill and others it comes to about 20,000. that's a pretty big number. and in the past two years, just as agents have gone out there and taken guns back, as a matter of fact they have taken over 5,000 guns back and 400,000 rounds of ammunition. so ken, it is a big problem. >> absolutely. phil matier live from our newsroom, thank you, phil. coming up, what a sheriff's deputy says he can't remember before he opened fire on a bay area teen holding a replica rifle. >> for more than 100 jobs up for grabs, the $55 an hour position at the new 49ers stadium in santa clara. >> speaking of santa clara, your high today 69 degrees, also the upper 60s for you in lakeport. petaluma coming in at 68. walnut creek 67. we are getting milder. do we crack that 70-degree mark? the answer in the self day forecast in about 6 minutes. to do it again i would develop probably the ability to use social media. >> coming up at 6:30, how a bay

why the new bay bridge was over budget.. and behind schedule. senate transpo a state senator wants to learn why the new bay bridge was so over budget and behind schedule. he will hold three here's over the next several months. in 1998, officials estimated the self-anchored suspension span would take four years and cost about $1 billion. well, it took about 11 years and cost more than $6 billion. the first hearing is set for november 13. it's out with the old when it comes to the bay bridge. kpix 5's don ford gives us an up-close look at the complicated dismantling of the old eastern span piece by piece. reporter: it's a spooky sight. the old bay bridge now silent now empty now about to disappear. >> the dismantling of the span begins if all goes according to plan next week. >> reporter: the top deck

roadway of the cantilever section comes off first. as you can see, some of the asphalt has already been removed. but drivers on the nearby new bridge won't see any changes for a while. >> the public won't see dramatic changes until early 2014. >> reporter: when the steel members start to come off. a detailed structural engineering analysis is completed and the bridge will be dismantled in more or less the reverse order that it was constructed taking at least three years and nearly $240 million to finish. and this is where it all started over 20 years ago during the loma prieta earthquake when section e9 broke loose crashed down on this deck, revealing just how dangerous this bridge really was. the bridge nearly came apart. it was the beginning of the end of the old bridge. now that end is in sight. the paint is peeling. utility cables are cut. the speed limit signs that nobody paid any attention to

any way are all fading away. but there's one question everybody wants to know. >> people have asked, why not just blow it up? so in addition to the environmental regulations that would prohibit us just dropping the bridge into the bay, we also have the new east span carrying leaving traffic and just for public safety reasons, you can't blow it up. >> reporter: blowing it up would sure be fun. not happening! it will come down slowly, piece by piece. on the old bay bridge, don ford, kpix 5. >> it took a little more than three years to build the bridge back in the 1930s and that's about the same time it will take to demolish the old eastern span. coming up in the next half hour, some bay area voters getting ready to decide if they will raise their own taxes. tonight we have learned just how close their city came to bankruptcy. >> a bay area construction site turned into a crime scene. how a crook managed to pull off a heavy duty heist. >> and why we're facing a wine shortage. ,, ,,

we've learned just how close their city came to being . now at 6:30 as some bay area voters get ready to decide if they will raise their own taxes, we learned just how

close their city actually came to being bankrupt. next week, voters in antioch will decide on measure c, a half cent sales tax, to boost police services. the city desperately needs that cash. it turns out it nearly went broke a few years back but the retiring city manager tells ann notarangelo it was a learning experience. >> reporter: for the second time in two years, antioch voters are being asked to increase their sales tax to hire more police officers. >> there is no way to deliver the level of services without the supplemental revenue. >> reporter: critics say there's no guarantee it will be spent on police but the city manager says it's a given. the police department has been cut by a third and crime is up. this is jim's last attempt at rebuilding a decimated city budget. his city lost $11 million a year in the great recession. in 2008, they teetered quietly on the brink of bankruptcy. >> we didn't publicize it because you don't want to cause

-- there was a little bit of coverage of it but not tremendous. at that time vallejo was in the headlines. >> reporter: 10 years on the job and he is about to retire. empty desks are a reminder only 60% of city jobs are filled. these are still lean times. and he wishes he had better conveyed that to the public. >> to do it again i would work on -- i would develop probably the ability to use social media greater because you can touch people now. >> reporter: after the bart strike, it might come as a surprise to many that employees here gave up three million dollars in pay each year so the city could avoid bankruptcy. >> what i learned is that the institution of labor isn't dead set against doing what needs to be done. they did what they had to do. they realized that they had to be treated i think with respect. >> reporter: what's surprised him is how difficult it is to find good employees. people are drawn to glamour, not government. jim says government pay and benefits have to be good to

attract better candidates. >> that's going to plague us as not just antioch but government in general. it's hard to compete. >> reporter: there is optimism. highway 4 improvements and a bart station in 2017 will speed up the commute which will increase property values and beef up city coffers. but antioch's not there yet. and jakele is leaving behind an empty piggy bank, the one with a big question mark. in antioch, ann notarangelo, kpix 5. >> on monday, jakele will sit in on the interviews to select his replacement. happening now, hundreds of protestors moving their way through santa rosa demanding justice in the killing of 13- year-old andy lopez. cops are escorting the crowd. they are holding signs saying, we are all andy lopez. the protestors are making their way downtown to courthouse square where they plan to have a rally. the chp has recovered some heavy duty equipment stolen from a construction site in

>> it's not common at all to lose an excavator. it's really not common to lose two in one fell swoop. >> reporter: the chp and the construction industry say this is not an isolated incident but a trend. >> we have seen a huge increase in the last few years of equipment being stolen. it's progressively getting larger. >> reporter: the chp says just this year alone in contra costa county, 10 pieces of large equipment were stolen. >> anything that's not nailed down that they think they can steal and get away wither going to do that. >> reporter: in clayton, i'm da lin, kpix 5. >> the chp believes the suspect nick casper worked alone. he will be charged with possession of stolen property and grand theft auto. passengers on board a delta flight headed to san francisco had to make an emergency landing today. a plane which took off from tokyo touched down in a remote part of alaska due to a possible issue with one of the engines. these photos show the boeing 767 after it landed at the
